Expectations Rise for GOP Race A shake-up looms with Iowa straw poll ahead, Perry poised to run

Much political focus shifts to Iowa this week, where such Republican contenders as Rep. Michele Bachmann are aiming for a strong straw poll showing Saturday to send a message.

H[YWbb Lej[i 8[]_d _d M_i$ Six Republicans face recall elections on Tuesday as the political backlash in Wisconsin’s state legislature due to Gov. Scott Walker’s confrontation with Democrats last year continues.

KdbeYa_d] Fh[i[Wied The NFL preseason roars to life Thursday, thanks to the lockout resolution last month that enabled the season to move forward.

The Redskins will take on the Steelers at home on Friday.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry plans to address the Alabama GOP on Friday and a convention of conservative bloggers in Charleston, S.C., on Saturday — the same day as the straw poll. His decision to join the race could come at any point. He has said in private conversations that he would likely mount a caucus campaign. His senior political consultant has begun scouting for potential staff in Iowa. Perry’s advisers are busy honing a strategy, though he is likely establishing himself as a credible alternative to Mitt Romney, given Texas’ recent job growth. (AP)

:[i Ce_d[i" ?emW A nationally televised debate, a test vote in Iowa and a candidacy by Texas Gov. Rick Perry — should he decide to seek the GOP nomination as many insiders, activists and party leaders expect — could shake up the Republican presidential race in the coming days.

The entire field of Republican candidates planned to participate in Thursday’s debate in Iowa — the first that will include former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman — and most were staying in the leadoff caucus state for a straw poll two days later when GOP activists will indicate their presidential preferences for the first time. Perry planned to be elsewhere, but his likely candidacy was looming large in Iowa and across the nation.

With the first votes of 2012 less than six months away, the week promises to refocus the political world on the GOP nomination fight after months of debate in Washington over the nation’s debt having largely eclipsed it. That issue — coupled with a sour jobs outlook, last week’s Wall Street sell-off and the nation’s downgraded credit rating — is framing the 2012 campaign, with Republi-

Still, the GOP electorate has made clear in polls that it wants more choices, perhaps a conservative who is strong on both economic and social issues, leading Texas Gov. Rick Perry to consider a run. Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin also is keeping the door open. Romney returns to Des Moines on Wednesday. (AP)

Neither Mitt Romney nor Jon Huntsman, a fellow Mormon who is bypassing Iowa altogether, will participate in Saturday’s straw poll. But the poll has big implications for those who are, chief among them Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty.

Also participating in the poll are Texas Rep. Ron Paul; Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker whose campaign imploded earlier this summer; Herman Cain; and former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum. Poor showings could force some of those candidates from the race. (AP)

Geithner to Remain on the Job Treasury secretary clears up future with economy in turmoil

A series of President Obama’s economic advisers have departed, including Lawrence Summers, the first head of the president’s National Economic Council; and two economic advisers, Christina Romer and Austan Goolsbee.

Geithner informed the president Friday that he had decided to remain in the Cabinet.

Before joining Obama’s administration, Geithner served as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, a job that put him on the front lines of the central

The Treasur y Department released a statement Sunday saying Geithner had informed the president of his decision to remain in the administration.

In late June, people close to Geithner said he was considering leaving after the debt limit was raised in August. They said he was tired of commuting to New York, where his son will be finishing up his last year in high school.

However, various administration officials including White House chief of staff William Daley had been lobbying Geithner to stay.

Geithner has enjoyed a close working relationship with Obama.

Europe Strives to Stave Off Crisis Central bank looks to keep Italy, Spain from debt disasters <hWda\khj" =[hcWdo The European Central Bank says it will “actively implement” a bondpurchase program that could boost Spanish and Italian bonds and drive down interest yields that threaten those countries with financial disaster.

Sunday’s statement from bank President Jean-Claude Trichet comes as global finance officials discussed ways to ward off more turmoil ahead of the opening of financial markets on Monday, the first substantial trading after the U.S. lost its triple-A bond rating from Standard & Poor’s on Friday.

The intense activity on an August weekend underscored how

Reports: Saleh Departs From Saudi Hospital

J^[ ?jWb_Wd <_n Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi unveiled a plan for economic reform Friday that would speed up austerity measures and move the country toward a balanced-budget amendment. His announcement appeared to pave the way for the European Central Bank’s plan to begin in buying spree of Italian bonds in an attempt to reduce borrowing costs. The Italian government has debt equivalent to 120 percent of its economic output, the second highest in the eurozone behind Greece. (THE WASHINGTON POST/AP)

heavy levels of government debt on both sides of the Atlantic have rattled financial markets — and sharpened fears that the global recovery from the 2007-2009 financial crisis could be derailed.

The statement from the ECB, issued after a conference call among its officials, did not say which countries’ bonds it would buy.

MW_j_d] =Wc[ European leaders on July 21 agreed to equip their $620 billion bailout fund with the powers to buy government bonds in the secondary market and help bail out banks. But that will not take effect until national parliaments get back from vacation and ratify them next month. (AP)

But the beneficiaries are expected to be Italy and Spain, market analysts say. Italy and Spain are trying to avoid the spiraling interest rates that forced Greece, Ireland and Portugal to seek bailout loans. Purchases could drive up bond prices, which move in the opposite directions from interest yields.

Last week, yields for both countries were above 6 percent, moving toward the levels that upended the three smaller countries. Italy in particular is regarded as too large for Europe’s $620 billion bailout fund to rescue, raising the possibility of a devastating disaster for the eurozone economy.

Many economists see the world’s big central banks as the last line of defense at this moment in the crisis, after policymakers in Europe and the U.S. have failed to agree on the kind of shock-and-awe moves that investors demand. (AP)

That can have a big impact on how much is owed upon graduation.

Graduate students can take out up to $138,500 in federal loans, of which $65,500 can be subsidized.

That includes loans taken out as an undergraduate. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still be able

to borrow the same amount once the change goes into effect, but no subsidized loans will be available.

F[bb =hWdji The $17 billion in savings from eliminating subsidies for graduate and professional students will be used to fund Pell grants. But the extra money only helps bridge a funding shortfall so the program

wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to make any cuts in the immediate future.

The preservation of Pell grants is seen as critical because they provide undergraduate funding to the neediest students; the vast majority of the 10 million recipients have family incomes of $40,000 or less.

For now, students will still be able to get a maximum grant of $5,550 a year. But the odds arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looking

good for the annual cap increases scheduled from 2013 to 2017.

BeWd :_iYekdji The governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt deal also eliminates a discount given to borrowers who make their payments on time.

The amount of the discount varies depending on when the loan was issued. But for federal loans

JWn 8h[Wai Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the possibility that tax breaks to offset college costs could be scaled back. A bipartisan panel of 12 lawmakers will have the option of making tax reforms part of its proposal to reduce the deficit. The likelihood that the committee would scale back tax breaks for college costs seems small. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth noting that almost 10 million taxpayers deducted student loan interest in 2009, according to the Tax Institute at H&R Block. (AP)

7d ?dYedl[d_[dj Jhkj^ Metro outages create major problems for disabled passengers From the seat of her electric wheelchair, Rochelle Harrod pressed the button of an elevator on the north side of Metro’s New Carrollton station.

Nothing.

She pressed it again.

Nothing.

No sign explained it was out of service. She looked around in vain for someone nearby to help.

No luck.

Harrod, 33, was born with cerebral palsy. She is one of nearly 6,000 people with a disability who Metro has tried to encourage to use its rail and bus services instead of its more costly door-to-door shuttle, known as MetroAccess.

But for those who use wheelchairs, canes or other aids, navigating the Metro system is often a daunting trip because of the chronically broken escalators and elevators, dilapidated station platforms, poor lighting and other aging parts that have become symbols of the troubled transit system.

“They scream that Metro is accessible, but too often it is a total inconvenience,” said Harrod, who lives in Hyattsville.

Try steering a 300-pound motorized wheelchair onto a crowded bus or train. Or walking with poor — or no — vision along a narrow, dimly lit station platform, using just a walking stick as a guide.

Rochelle Harrod was stuck July 6 due to an elevator outage at the New Carrollton stop.

Ç?jÊi WbmWoi W YhWfi^eej m_j^ C[jhe$ ?jÊi ^WhZ X[_d] W Yh_f ekj ^[h[ jho_d] je ][j WhekdZ$È — A NGEL LOVE MILE S, A METRO RIDER BORN WITH SPINA BIFIDA.

Even relying on MetroAccess is no guarantee. Disabled patrons often endure long waits to be picked up. On occasion, some drivers never show, patrons say.

Metro has tried to scale down paratransit costs by encouraging those who are able to ride on the system’s buses and trains. Each rider’s situation is reviewed, and Metro determines what type of

service he or she can receive based on a person’s medical condition, an interview and his or her travel needs. Customers with disabilities who are deemed conditionally eligible can ride buses and trains for free.

For three years, including projections for 2011, MetroAccess ridership has hovered around 2 million per year. The transit agency said customer satisfaction with MetroAccess is at its highest level in six years, with fewer than five complaints per 1,000 trips requested.

“It’s always a crapshoot with Metro,” said Angel Love Miles, 30, also of Hyattsville, who was born with spina bifida and rides Metro in her wheelchair. “It’s hard being a crip out here trying to get around.”

IWhb[i Dej >[WZ[Z je D$O$9$" M_bb IjWo Wj C[jhe MWi^_d]jed Metro general manager Richard Sarles was contacted this week by transit executives asking whether he’d be interested in being considered for the job of running the Big Apple’s transit agency, but he

declined, according to a Metro spokesman, saying he is “committed to his job rebuilding Metro.”

Sarles took the helm of running Metro in January after serving as its interim general manager. He has previously worked for Amtrak, the Port Authority of New York and

New Jersey Transit.

In July, Jay H. Walder — the head of the New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority — said he was leaving the transit agency to head a company that runs rail services in Europe and Asia.

DCPS Achievement Gaps Persist Data show reading, math scores lowest in wards east of river MWi^_d]jed The gulf in academic achievement separating public schools in the District’s poorest neighborhoods from those in its most affluent has narrowed slightly in some instances but remains vast, an analysis of 2011 test score data show.

Children in Ward 7 and 8 schools trailed their Ward 3 peers in reading and math pass rates by huge margins — from 41 to 56 percentage points — on this year’s D.C. Comprehensive Assessment

System exams. The tests are given annually to students in grades 3 through 8 and 10.

The figures, made public last week, show that despite some signs of overall progress, students in schools east of the Anacostia River — who represent nearly a third of the city’s traditional public school enrollment — have yet to be lifted by a reform effort that will enter its fifth year this month.

In Ward 8 elementary schools, for example, 28 percent of students read at proficiency level or better, down about 2 percentage points from 2010. The pass rate this year in Ward 3 elementary schools was 84 percent, leaving a gap of 56 points.

Elementary reading pass rates in Ward 7 declined for the thirdstraight year after growing more than 10 points in 2008. Its schools trail Ward 3’s on that measure by 51 points.

SCARY THOUGHT How S&P’s decision to downgrade the U.S. credit rating could affect your finances

J^[ _cfWYj ed oekh mWbb[j of the Standard & Poor’s

downgrade of the nation’s credit rating is similar to what would happen if your own credit score declined: The cost of borrowing money is likely to go up. Here are five things to keep in mind as financial markets respond to this historic event. ( THE WASHINGTON P OS T )

' KdYb[ IWcÊi _dj[h[ij hWj[ cWo h_i[$

8WYaijeho Credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s lowered the U.S. government’s credit rating for the first time Friday, from the top AAA rating to AA+. In theory, a lower credit rating should lead to higher interest rates for U.S. debt. Buyers of government securities can demand higher rates because the lower rating means they are taking on more risk. In reality, Treasury bonds will still be considered among the safest and most liquid investments in the world. (AP)

Fe_dj_d] <_d][hi David Axelrod, a top political adviser to President Obama, blames the downgrade of the U.S. credit rating on tea party Republicans, who he says were unwilling to compromise on the debt limit. On “Face the Nation,” Axelrod calls the action “a tea party downgrade” and said it’s clearly on the backs of lawmakers who were willing to see the country default to get their way. (AP)

S&P is one of three major rating agencies that assess the riskiness of large institutions such as corporations and governments. The downgrade reflects a lack of confidence in the U.S. government to pay its debts over time. Riskier countries have to pay higher interest rates, just as riskier consumers do. S&P’s decision rocked the United States — and the world — because the nation has generally been considered one of the safest investments around.

( ?\ j^[ ]el[hdc[dj fWoi ceh[" oek fWo ceh[$

The interest rate the United States pays on its short-term loans is determined by the market for Treasury bills. The downgrade could increase the yields on those bonds, forcing the government to spend more to borrow the same amount of money. Many consumer loans, such as credit cards and mortgages, are linked to the yield on Treasuries and therefore would also rise.

) Dej [l[hoj^_d] m_bb Y^Wd][$

Many major consumer loans have fixed interest rates that won’t change even if the cost of borrowing rises for the federal government. Far-reaching changes to the credit card industry that took effect last year prohibit lenders from changing their interest rates without giving at least 45 days notice in most cases. They also won’t be able to increase the rate on purchases you’ve already made, only new ones. But if you want a loan for a new car or college tuition, for example, be prepared for higher rates. In addition, some credit cards and home equity loans have variable interest rates that can fluctuate with the yield on Treasuries. Check your loan agreement to see what type of rate you have.

* M^WjÊi j^[ mehij#YWi[ iY[dWh_e \eh c[5

John Ulzheimer, president of consumer education for SmartCredit.com, thinks the downgrade could force some homeowners to default on a portion of their mortgages, exacerbating the housing crisis. During the economic boom, many people financed their homes with two loans: a standard mortgage and a special home equity line of credit. These HELOCs require borrowers to pay only the interest on the loan, and the rate varies each month. If there is a significant increase, some homeowners may not be able to make payments.

+ M^WjÊi j^[ mehij#YWi[ iY[dWh_e \eh KdYb[ IWc5

The S&P downgrade is likely to be a blow to the economy. The real pain won’t be felt unless the two other ratings agencies, Moody’s and Fitch, follow suit. Last week, the companies said they still believe the United States deserves the highest credit rating — but they warned that could change. To hold onto its credit rating, the country must reduce its debt and stabilize the economy, the companies said.

John Chambers, Standard & Poor’s managing director, said that there is a 1 in 3 chance that the U.S. credit rating could be downgraded again if conditions erode over the next six to 24 months. He also told “This Week” it would take “stabilization and eventual decline” of the federal debt and less political gridlock to win back a top rating. (AP)

7 8WZ Ec[d Stocks across the Middle East fell Sunday as most regional markets reopened for the first time since the historic downgrade of the United States’ credit rating and a sharp global sell-off late last week.

The region’s markets mostly operate Sunday to Thursday. That meant they were the first to open after rating agency Standard & Poor’s decision late Friday to cut the U.S. credit rating one notch from its top AAA level. Mideast exchanges — which mainly take their lead from larger global markets — also had some catching up to do after Wall Street’s Thursday plunge, its worst since the financial crisis in autumn 2008, investors and analysts said. “We’re seeing a strong contagion effect,” said Rami Sidani, the head of Middle East investments for British asset management firm Schroders.

Players who may have favored the Patriots, Cowboys or Redskins are now choosing Philly.

Michael Vick’s arrival in Philadelphia has been a draw for other players, free agents have said this year.

Destination: Philadelphia Eagles emerge as the NFL’s new go-to team for the elite free agents Fhe <eejXWbb The lure of playing with Michael Vick and for Andy Reid on a championship-caliber team has made the Philadelphia Eagles the hot destination in the NFL. Nnamdi A somugha might have received more money to go elsewhere. Same goes for Ronnie Brown and Vince Young. Each chose the Eagles. So did Jason

Babin, Cullen Jenkins and a slew of free agents.

The defending NFC East champions were super-aggressive once the lockout ended. The Eagles didn’t sign every free agent out there. It just seemed that way.

Players are flocking to Philadelphia. And, it isn’t because the City of Brotherly Love offers all-you-caneat cheesesteaks and Tastykakes.

“Having Vick here, and the rest of the talent that’s here, I think that’s the big draw,” Asomugha said.

8_] If[dZ[hi The Eagles haven’t always been big spenders. They made their biggest splash in 2004, acquiring Terrell Owens and Jevon Kearse. The result was a trip to the Super Bowl — a 24-21 loss to New England.

Clearly, owner Jeffrey Lurie and president Joe Banner are determined to do whatever it takes to end a 51-year championship drought. The Eagles have reached the NFC title game five times in the last 10 seasons, but have yet to win that elusive Super Bowl.

“The only goal for us is to win the Super Bowl,” Lurie said.

É7 9^Wcf_edi^_f <[[bÊ With those lofty expectations, general manager Howie Roseman made one big move after another to upgrade the roster. The Eagles signed 12 veterans — including four guys who’ve been to seven Pro Bowls — in the first six days of free agency.

They also traded for another, getting two-time Pro Bowl cor-

QB Vince Young, a two-time Pro Bowl pick and former No. 3 overall draft choice, jumped at the chance to join the Eagles, even though other teams may have offered more money and playing time.

RB Ronnie Brown also passed up the chance to possibly be a starter elsewhere. Instead, he’ll back up LeSean McCoy. DE Jason Babin and DT lineman Cullen Jenkins both got five-year deals to boost the Eagles’ defensive front.

CB Nnamdi Asomugha, below, the prize of the free-agent class, signed a $60 million, five-year deal.

The move was surprising because the Eagles had already acquired Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie a day earlier, and they also have Asante Samuel, another top cornerback.

nerback Dominique RodgersCromartie in the deal that sent backup quarterback Kevin Kolb to Arizona.

“This organization as a whole is a selling point,” Roseman said.

“People want to come to Philadelphia because of the organization, having Coach Reid, and having a quarterback like Michael and the players we have here. I think they’re all great selling points. When you talk to agents, people want to come to Philly.”

Asomugha certainly did.

“I think from top to bottom in the organization, it’s first class with the head coach, president, GM, owner, all the way down to the players,” Asomugha said. “It has a championship feel to it.” (AP)

Stepanek won the point on 29 of his 39 trips to the net. Monfils, in contrast, was content to stay close to the baseline and made it forward only four times.

A former pharmacy tech treats her creative side

Exhibition designer Elizabeth Eubank stands near a display she helped coordinate at the Robinson Nature Center in Howard County in Maryland.

Elizabeth Eubank found her new career pretty much by accident. Not knowing what to do with her undergraduate degree in European history and communication arts, she discovered the answer a few blocks from work.

To help pay her way through the University of Wisconsin, the 2003 graduate worked at the campus hospital’s IV room as a pharmacy technician. At first, Eubank says, “I didn’t know the difference between aspirin and insulin” — but she learned while delivering everything from diaper-rash paste to chemotherapy drugs. Realizing the knowledge she was gaining could be more salable, she took and passed an exam to become a certified pharmacy technician.

After moving to the District in 2004, Eubank found a similar job at George Washington University Hospital while mulling her future. Teaching? Law school? Documentary filmmaking? When a colleague mentioned that the job came with tuition benefits, Eubank checked the catalog and discovered GW’s master of arts in museum studies (Gwu.edu/~mstd; 202-994-7030), one of the country’s oldest, largest and most varied programs.

][jj_d]W^[WZ The Best Medicine “Today you pretty much need a master’s to enter the museum field,” says program director Kym Rice. The 2½-year program consists of lectures, discussions, field trips, plenty of guest speakers and two required internships.

Students take five academic classes (in a related field such as history, anthropology, archaeology or American studies), five museum studies classes and two electives (most people take these also in museum studies).

The program has three tracks.

The first — exhibit development and design — covers acquisition, themes, overall design and visitor evaluation. Museum management and leadership includes dealing with staff and trustees; financial oversight; fundraising; marketing; and strategic planning.

Collections management covers policy, conservation, housing, cataloging, preservation and transportation.

Eubank, who enrolled in 2005, chose the exhibit track. Because she arrived with no museum experience or connections, she chose to secure five internships — two at the National Air and Space Museum and one each at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center, the U.S. Botanic Garden and the National Museum of the American Indian.

Tuition is about $52,000, and starting salaries are about $35,000 to $50,000. Still, “this is a fulfilling, fun career,” Rice says. “The program prepares you to be the director of a small museum, an assistant curator in a large one, a development officer — anything except walking right into being director of the Met.” Or, as it turns out, a grad might work for a design firm. A supervisor at the American Indian museum recommended Eubank to Howard+Revis Design Services in Northeast D.C., which hired her as a content developer in May 2007.

“This is everything I was interested in,” Eubank says of her job: “history; a range of topics; the

Eubank conducts heavy-duty research to assure that the facts of exhibits are correct.

ability to be creative in experiential, graphic and spatial design; and helping to educate visitors and produce something worthwhile for the community.”

Because Howard+Revis is a small operation with a staff of only six, Eubank gets to work in depth with four to five clients at once. In any week, she might be writing, roughing out a look for a graphic designer, buying artifacts at memorabilia shows, doing multimedia design or traveling to Memphis, Tenn., to consult on the renovation of the National Civil Rights Museum.

For Howard County, Md.’s Robinson Nature Center, set to open in September, Eubank worked with a biologist to frame the major messages and “get the natural history correct.” She found photos that fit the budget, researched how a flour mill works so a model could be made and worked with an archaeologist to choose dis-

play objects.

Things got more technical at Ferry Farm, George Washington’s boyhood home in Fredericksburg, which will have trails to illustrate Washington’s teen years, the farm’s Civil War presence and its natural history. Thanks to Eubank’s work, a visitor will be able to walk the grounds with a GPS-activated tablet and at, say, the site of Union cannons or a 300-year-old kitchen building, see a description, video of historic re-creations or a 3-D view of an artifact.

“Don’t get discouraged if you have no experience,” Eubank advises would-be career changers.

“Just be prepared to work harder than those who do.”

Now that she has that experience, Eubank would like to become a project manager eventually.

“I’m not sure I’d ever work for a museum now,” she says, “because there’s so much variety in what I do.” ELLEN RYAN

IjWcf_d] =hekdZi Armed with a seal, notaries authenticate the paper trail of life KEY EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP CERTIFICATE PROGRAM ISTOCKPHOTO

The paper trail of a life has many milestones — the title to that first used car, the mortgage on a house, a will — and there are citizens deputized to keep the trail honest.

These notaries have ample ground to cover, and a little entrepreneurship can go a long way toward boosting their bank accounts.

Armed with a stamp or a seal, a notary (or notary public) generally ensures people are who they say they are, that their signatures are their own, that they understand the document they’re signing and that the process is free of coercion.

Notaries can ask people to swear, under penalty of perjury, that a document or statement contains the truth, and in some places they can oversee the copying of original documents.

The variety of notarial work is linked by the “common thread that … notaries are thought to be trusted, impartial, trained witnesses,” says Kathleen Butler, executive director of the American Society of Notaries.

It’s a government-appointed job, obtained in Maryland and Virginia through an application; in D.C., there’s a training session, and notaries must be bonded. Further general and specialized training is available through courses such as those offered by the ASN and the National Notary Association.

The established fees for each notarial act would barely buy a snack: $2 in D.C. and Maryland, and up to $5 in Virginia. But depending on local rules, notaries can make up for that with added fees, such as for time and other costs. One D.C. traveling notary service advertises base

THE KEY EXPERIENCE PROVIDES: • an opportunity to learn collaboratively • faculty who are scholar-practitioners • an opportunity to work in a cohort of high-performing peers • individual leadership development through 360-degree evaluations and one on one coaching sessions

— K ATHLEEN POLE S, WHO WORKS IN BILLING FOR A GOVERNMENT CONTRACTOR AND AS A NOTARY PUBLIC FOR MORTGAGE LENDERS, TITLE FIRMS AND SIGNING AGENCIES.

fees of $50 for the first hour and $25 thereafter.

Kathleen Poles, who works in billing for a government contractor, has gone another route: tapping the stream of companies such as mortgage lenders, title firms and signing agencies that hire local notaries to print loan documents — say, for a refinancing — and then obtain a customer’s signature and mail back the forms. (In Maryland, this work requires a title insurance producer license.)

Companies offer a flat rate for the work, which could range from $50 to $300 depending on factors such as a tight deadline, the amount of notarial acts involved and the number of pages to be printed, which could be a couple dozen or a couple hundred.

The key for notaries, especially as signing agents, is to balance the pay with the expenses and the time involved. “If I go to a customer’s house, I could be there for 45 minutes or I could be there for four hours,” especially if it’s the customer’s first time going through the loan process, says Poles, 46.

To help stay in the black — she

earns up to $300 a week as a notary — she limits her loan-signing work to a 20-mile radius from her Leesburg home.

“It’s not an instantaneous benefit,” says John Gober, a computer programmer for the U.S. Census Bureau who’s carved a business from the same niche, covering Virginia and Maryland. It took a year of handing out business cards and marketing himself on notary listings (he recommends the ASN and NNA websites, and Notary Depot, Notary Rotary and 123Notary.com) before the workload reached a steady stride.

Now seven years in, “I turn away more jobs than I take,” he says, while still making about $500 a month.

Gober, 58, says he became a notary for the public service aspect of the job and that he keeps equally busy notarizing field-trip permission slips and other forms as a favor to neighbors and co-workers.

And when called to a hospital or nursing home, he says, “I just don’t feel right charging them.”

But business opportunities are everywhere. “You give them a few cards and it spins off.”

J^[ F[h\[Yj F_jY^ panies get wrong when devising advertising and marketing plans?

Lure potential buyers by using well-aimed marketing techniques 8eeai These days, it’s not easy for companies to inspire customers to buy products with a 30-second TV spot or online ad. Even Don Draper might feel challenged by the current state of advertising and marketing, with consumers bombarded by ads everywhere they look. Marketing guru Bob Pritchard shares his 21st-century tricks of the trade in his new book, “Kick-Ass Business & Marketing

Secrets: How to Blitz Your Competition” (Wiley, $25, to be released Aug. 23). We spoke with Pritchard about a variety of topics, including embracing emotions and why word of mouth matters.

What are some of the things com-

A lot of people have lost sight of the basic principles of marketing. What you need is a product that people want and a name that people relate to. You have to differentiate yourself from the competition, determine the marketing mix that will reach people, and create an emotional connection with potential customers.

The saying “the customer is king” seems especially true these days.

Absolutely. Customers today have got all of the tools at their disposal. They can readily check products online; they can compare products;

they can get onto blogs that sing the praises of one product over another.

An awful lot of people make decisions online and then go to wherever the product is sold and buy it.

Why is making an emotional connection important?

The initial reaction for any decision we make is made emotionally. Then once we’ve decided on the emotional decision, we set about justifying it. We do that pragmatically, obviously, but if your company has got first recall in a potential customer’s mind and they feel kindly disposed to you, they’re much more likely to justify the decision positively in your favor. Johnson’s baby powder has always made an emotional connection between a loving parent and the product. Its competition tends to pour gallons of water

into all sorts of things to prove it’s more absorbent. If the choice is between being more absorbent and having a loving relationship with your child, the latter is the one they’re going to pick.

What role does customer service play?

You have to provide knockout service. I think the key to business success today is to have absolutely phenomenal service so that you get really positive word of mouth. If you can get positive, strong word of mouth, your message will be more effective, and you’ll save a lot of money on marketing costs.

What are some ways to make sure your message breaks through?

You need to differentiate your product as much as possible. That then

][jj_d]W^[WZ gives you the basis on which to develop an emotional connection with the customer. If every product looks the same, people buy based on price. But people are prepared to pay more for a product if the company is the service leader in the marketplace or if they have an emotional connection to it.

Are there any new technologies that are promising when it comes to marketing and advertising?

I think certainly all of the social networks. They’re extremely powerful at building brand commu-

nities. People identify with people who like the same things they do and have similar characteristics that they have. That creates an additional hook for companies, and the stronger those brand commu-

nities are, the more chance they’ve got of getting their product really far. They’re very powerful tools but they’re also more subtle tools.

You can’t use social media to go out and be an obvious, hard-sell

car salesman type of person. You have to be much more subtle.

What do you hope people take away from your book?

I set out to write a book that any-

body could pick up, whether they’re in a start-up business or one that’s matured. They could take these keys or rules and apply them to any business and be successful. I tried to make it as simple as possible so they could start implementing them tomorrow. Once you get the basics right, then the rest will follow. It’s the little tricks that make the difference between success and failure. You might only be 10 percent wrong, but if you’re 10 percent wrong, that can make a hell of a difference at the end of the day. BETH LUBERECKI

The news and multimedia editor of the Washington Blade was laid off in November 2009 when the local LGBT newspaper was abruptly shut down due to its parent company’s financial woes. Even though the paper quickly reformed as the DC Agenda (it ultimately reverted back to the Washington Blade moniker) and Lynsen was re-employed, his sudden termination was a wakeup call that he needed to come up with a plan B. “I was fearful that I was flailing,” says the Silver Spring resident. “I was really apprehensive about what the future held.”

Devising a plan for an alternative career as a safety net is easier said than done. The first step is often the most difficult, because it’s the most intangible. “Soul-searching is hard,” says career coach Mimi Darmstadter (301-728-6487; Mylifesworkcoaching.com), who helps clients grappling with this stage of the process.

“I force people to ask themselves the tough questions: ‘What do I want to be when I grow up?’ ‘What’s important to me?’ ‘What are the implications for other people?’”

A backup career has become a necessity as many industries face huge layoffs and even obsolescence.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates 8.8 million people lost their jobs since the economic downturn began in December 2007.

Not wanting to become a statistic, Lynsen began figuring out what his alternative career might be.

While he broadened his knowledge and hands-on experience managing the Washington Blade’s online presence and community, he consulted with Darmstadter. She pushed him to take stock of his skills and

Kirsten Dawson reinvented herself as a restaurant construction project manager.

interests. “I realized that my strong writing background could translate really well into the social media arena,” the 33-year-old says. “Coupled with a growing interest in public relations, I thought I could parlay these skills into something really fun.”

Lynsen ended up leaving the Blade in August 2010 to pursue this course change without having a new job lined up yet. “It was a leap of faith,” he says. He landed a job last fall as an account executive and social media manager with Chase Communications, where he handles PR and online strategies for the company.

JH7=;:O IJH?A;I Kirsten Dawson, of Haymarket, Va., had already successfully executed a plan B in her early 30s, when she switched from doing sales for a large technology firm to being a doula. She never dreamed she’d have to come up with yet another career, but then her 36-year-old

husband had a massive stroke.

Dawson immediately stopped working so she could focus on managing the crisis. After a grueling year that included her husband’s unsuccessful attempt to return to work, Dawson had an epiphany. “I realized that it was imperative that I got back to a full-time job that could be something that I could use to provide for my family for the rest of my working life,” she says. “Because life was never going to be the same again.”

As she talked to friends about what career she might pursue next, Dawson kept being reminded of how much she enjoyed working as a server and a bartender before she had a family. Those positions weren’t fiscally viable options, but a friend in the industry passed on her résumé to Great American Restaurants. Dawson was hired into a junior position in the construction department, which oversees building new properties for the group. She was unsure of how much

she’d like the work, but she quickly learned a valuable lesson. “You can reinvent yourself into anything if you’re forced to,” she says.

Six years later, she’s a construction project manager for the company. “There’s a self-satisfaction that comes from knowing you can learn something new,” Dawson says.

“It takes a lot of hard work, ambition, and the support of family and friends, but it’s worth it.”

career, because the process is not usually that easy.

A key component to branching out into a new field is to evaluate your strengths. Executive communications coach Larry Petcovic developed an online evaluation program called SciPhD (Sciphd.com), which helps post-doctoral candidates find work outside their primary industry. Like other, more general skill assessment tests such as Career Key (Careerkey.org) and SkillScan (Skillscan.com), this Web-based test determines clients’ strengths in 24 categories

leadership starts here.

toes in the water before plunging in, Darmstadter recommends.

“Take a class or do some volunteer work,” she says. “Expose yourself to opportunities to experiment with that new identity.”

No matter what course one decides to take, the experts agree that the best time to begin conceiving plan B is while plan A is still in effect, so financial and emotional stresses don’t cloud the process.

Experts also recommend creating a savings cushion to give anyone between jobs some breathing space to weigh options. NE VIN MARTELL

As a tea sommelier, you can study an art steeped in tradition

loose-leaf teas, then I know that I can push their comfort levels more than if they tell me, ‘I just drink Snapple.’”

Robert Rex-Waller, 27

The Park Hyatt gets its fair share of A-list guests — the Obamas, Jon Voight and Bono have all been spotted there — but that doesn’t faze RexWaller. “I don’t get starstruck,” he says. “At the end of the day, they’re just normal people who want to come in and have a pot of tea.”

@E80 Tea sommelier I7B7HO0 $45,000 M>7J >; :E;I0 The phrase “tea cellar” probably conjures images of a dark, dank underground space.

The one at the Park Hyatt hotel in the West End, however, is a ground-level luxury lounge with plenty of windows. Lining the edge of the room are temperature- and humidity-controlled glass cases filled with more than 90 kinds of rare tea from China, Sri Lanka and Japan worth more than $150,000. The man in charge of this liquid gold is tea sommelier Robert Rex-Waller. It’s his job to select the teas, care for them and suggest them to guests, who can spend up to $300 on a single pot.

“I try to figure out the perfect one for each person,” he says. “My first question is always, ‘What do you drink at home?’ If they tell me they’re only buying high-quality

IKF;HIJ7H I?FF;HI0

MEKB: OEK M7DJ J>?I @E85

Because he oversees the Park Hyatt’s tea cellar and its bar, Rex-Waller occasionally gets an oddly timed tea party request. “It’s Saturday night at 3 a.m., you’ve done your last call, you’re not allowed to serve any more alcohol, and someone will want a pot of tea,” he says.

“That’s a challenge. Everyone wants to go home, but we still serve them.” >EM >; =EJ J>?I @E80

Rex-Waller’s interest in tea began in high school when he started taking Chinese language courses. “The two go hand in hand,” he says. He visited China as part of his studies and

stopped at several tea estates while he was there. A few years later, he returned to spend two months touring these estates and some others in Japan. Back in the U.S., he enrolled in a series of tea certification classes offered by the Specialty Tea Institute (Teausa.com), which completed his education on how to properly taste and prepare all kinds of tea. >EM OEK 97D =;J J>?I @E80

“You should leave for China as soon as possible,” Rex-Waller says.

“There is no substitution for tasting and talking about teas with their creators.” If you don’t have that kind of time or money, you can take classes at the Specialty Tea Institute or the American Tea Masters Association (Teamasters.org), both of which offer tea sommelier certification programs.

Rex-Waller also recommends some reading material to accompany your next mug of chamomile: “The Harney & Sons Guide to Tea” by Michael Harney ($26, Penguin Press), Kakuzo Okakura’s “The Book of Tea” ($11, Penguin Classics) and “The New Tea Companion” by Jane Pettigrew and Bruce Richardson ($23, Benjamin Press).

August is the month that D.C. bars attempt to lure people into going out when we’d all rather be on vacation or sitting in front of an air conditioner watching pirated TV on the Internet.

So it’s a particularly tough month for sports bars; sure, there’s baseball, but it’s not like hockey season, when you can fill your bar with riledup fans who will drink absolutely everything 8o <_edW they can get their PkXb_d hands on.

To combat this summer slump, Redline (707 G St. NW), a polished sports spot, will be showing classic films every Monday in August. Last week it was “Casablanca,” and while the bar was by no means full, several people were definitely mouthing lines from the film along with Humphrey Bogart. At press time, the movie for tonight hadn’t been announced, but an online poll on the bar’s Facebook page to select the film had “The Godfather” leading by a mile, so expect to order some bruschetta. Oh, that’s the other part: During the movie, which starts at 7 p.m., all appetizers are 20 percent off, and original cocktails based on the featured film go for $6.

— PAUL MCCA RTNE Y, WHOSE POST-9/11 “CONCERT FOR NEW YORK” IS THE SUBJECT OF A NEW DOCUMENTARY, “THE LOVE WE MAKE.”

DAVID BANKS

Paul McCartney experienced 9/11 through the window of a jet on the tarmac of New York’s JFK airport.

“Out of the window on the right side of the airplane you could see the twin towers,” said the singer, who was on his way back to England after a visit to America. “You could see one plume of smoke. Then you could see two, shortly thereafter. And I said, ‘That’s just an optical illusion.’”

It wasn’t, of course. The plane McCartney was on, like every other, was grounded. And before long, he was trying to think of how to respond to the attacks and what he could do to help.

The result was a “Concert for New York,” which McCartney helped organize. He was joined onstage a few weeks later by David

Paul McCartney says the upcoming anniversary of 9/11 spurred the documentary.

Bowie, Elton John, Billy Joel and many others for the event at Madison Square Garden, a benefit for the city.

That Oct. 20, 2001, concert now serves as the framework for a new film, “The Love We Make.” Direct-

ed by legendary documentary filmmaker Albert Maysles, it captures McCartney’s firsthand observations of 9/11, and concert performances and backstage preparations. It premieres on Showtime on Sept. 10.

The film wasn’t finished until recently, McCartney said. “The fact of the 10th anniversary spurred me into thinking, ‘Wait a minute!

Albert took some great footage back then that we never did anything with.’

McCartney said the concert exemplifies his theory that “music can really be healing.”

“I’ve lucked out to be in a profession where I can actually help heal, let people get in touch with their emotions,” while, at the same time, he gets in touch with his.

“It’s a magical thing. And I do mean that. People say, ‘You believe in magic?’ I really do. I have to.”

9kb#Z[#IWYa[Z Wisteria Lane is facing a dead end. ABC confirmed reports that the upcoming eighth season of “Desperate Housewives” will be its last. “We want to make sure it has its victory lap,” ABC Entertainment President Paul Lee said in an announcement Sunday. The glossy prime-time soap with an ensemble cast including Eva Longoria, left, made a ratings splash when it premiered in 2004 but has since seen a falloff in the ratings. (AP)

[nfh[iid_]^jekj$Yec ‘Diamonds’ in the Rough Marilyn Monroe was at her best when she was allowed to be funny, and her performance as gold digger Lorelei Lee in the 1953 movie musical “Gentleman Prefer Blondes” is certainly that. It’s also the source of her iconic “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend,” which everyone from Madonna to Nicole Kidman has attempted unsuccessfully to replicate.

DWZb[h ?i _d =eeZ 9ecfWdo 7bXkc H[l_[m Boston song-poet Marissa Nadler opens her self-titled fifth album with nothing but voice and finger-picked acoustic guitar. Yet the reach of that first tune, “In Your Lair, Bear,” gradually expands.

After 100 seconds, a cymbal crash signals a shift, and Nadler is no longer alone. In fact, she’s in excellent hands: Brian Nadler McTear, Philadelphia’s leading artpop producer, and accompanist Carter Tanton devise an elegant setting for her vocals.

The instruments don’t overwhelm Nadler, which is crucial, as most of her material is about afterthe-affair emptiness and regret.

McTear and Tanton complement Nadler’s limpid mezzo-soprano with plaintive steel guitar, woozy synths and yearning violins.

Nadler’s lyrical reveries can verge on the juvenile, but her singing and the arrangements sound all grown-up. “Marissa Nadler” is, on balance, a mature work.

The Call Is Coming From Inside the House The National Theatre’s annual tradition of screening classic films on summer nights is ending for the year with “Dial M for Murder,” Alfred Hitchcock’s 1954 thriller about a man set on killing his unfaithful wife, played by Grace Kelly before she quit to become a princess.

Fountains Of Wayne’s World Adam Schlesinger, a founding member of Fountains of Wayne, is responsible for the title song of “That Thing You Do!,” and for that we are forever indebted to him. The songs he writes with the band are similarly catchy, though FoW have lasted far longer than the doomed Wonders from the film. On Sunday, the band played an electric show at the Birchmere, but Monday night it’ll be switching to acoustic. Birchmere, 3701 Mt.

B_iW 9^[kd]" O[ei^[d Jik_ Lisa, 27, is an accounting supervisor.

Shen, 30, is a financial adviser. They’ll live in Gaithersburg, Md., after their wedding.

THE MAIN EVENT: Sept. 10 in Leesburg, Va. After the wedding, they’ll have a Chinese tea ceremony at which the couple serves tea to their parents and older relatives to symbolize paying their respect.

HOW THEY MET: In the now-closed MCCXXII, or Club 1223. “We were dancing, and I outdanced her. That’s when I knew she was the one.”

FIRST DATE: They went to see “The Good Shepherd.” “It was terrible, so we left 20 minutes into it and went shopping,” Shen says.

HOW HE PROPOSED: He told her to come to a Labor Day happy hour. When she arrived, she found a trail of roses leading to a table for two with champagne and sushi. “This was very sweet, since he hates sushi.”

STUPIDEST FIGHT: When Shen didn’t want to leave a party, because he was on a four-hour beer-pong winning streak.

PET NAMES: He’s “Beenie,” a combo of “baby, sweetie and hunnie.”

THEIR SONG: Edwin McCain’s “I’ll Be.”

:obWd =WhZd[h" CWh_Wd][bW FWjhkde Dylan, 24, works for the IRS. Mariangela, 22, works for Baker Tilly. They live in Fairfax.

THE MAIN EVENT: On Aug. 15, at the Jefferson Memorial. “We’re both rather new to the D.C. area and currently love everything about it,” Mariangela says, which explains their choice of wedding venue.

HOW THEY MET: Online, on the GameFAQs.com forums. After months of talking, she was coming to a college two hours away for a tour, and he drove the two hours to tour with her. “We just clicked,” Dylan says.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: “I thought she

@kb_[ >W_cWdd" HeX >WjY^ Julie, 25, works for the federal government. Rob, 28, is an attorney. They will live in Springfield, Va., once they are married.

ÇM; M;H; :7D9?D=" 7D: ? EKJ:7D9;: >;H$ J>7JÊI M>;D ? AD;M I>; M7I J>; ED;$È — SHEN TSUI was too beautiful to be playing video games.”

FIRST DATE: Bowling.

HOW HE PROPOSED: After a walk around a lake, lunch at a steak house, a movie and dinner at home.

He spent the whole day trying to find the right time to propose and finally did it on his back porch at the end of the night.

MOST-HATED CLOTHING ITEM: Her “old-fashioned” purple nightgown; his Ohio State hat. “Dylan loves to wear baseball hats whenever he isn’t at work, and I love to actually see his hair.”

STUPIDEST FIGHT: Over how to get married. “It’s very hard to plan a wedding when your family is all over the place and you are just trying to get settled in a new location,” Mariangela says.

THE MAIN EVENT: An Aug. 13 soiree in Blacksburg, Va., on the grounds of a historic plantation and country home.

HOW THEY MET: At a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints conference. “Rob complimented me on my glasses.”

FIRST DATE: Since he knew she’d studied Arabic, they saw an IMAX movie about the Islamic scholar and pilgrim Ibn Battuta’s journey to Mecca at the Smithsonian.

HOW HE PROPOSED: At the tree in Rock Creek Park where they had first said, “I love you.” They then walked to Baked & Wired for cupcakes and a free turnover. “They were impressed that we went to their cafe immediately after our engagement,” Julie says.

MOST-HATED CLOTHING ITEM: His “putrid” yellow tie.

PET NAMES: She’s “Booger” or “Habibti,” Arabic for “Beloved.” He’s “Habibi” or “Caterpillar.”

WHEN HE KNEW: While he was taking the New York bar exam, she sent him a supportive text each evening after the test. “I knew then she had a heart of gold.”
